Grammar help: putting in full stops

Many of my Primary 6 (Year 5) class struggle with knowing where to put full stops in more extended pieces of writing. They all know a sentence needs a full stop at the end but find it difficult to see where one sentence ends and another begins. Does anyone know of any resources/activities to support this, other than the various 'puncuate these sentence/paragraphs' worksheets?
Many thanks

One of the courses I went on (it was for dyslexia) said you should give them a blob of bluetack. Get them to read it out and put a piece of blutack where they think a full stop should go - they can then read it back and check that they have the full stops in the right place and move them if they aren't happy/put the full stops in if they are happy. I can't remember exactly why they said that this would work but I remember the rational made sense at the time!
